Take Your Partner By The Hand - Robbie Robertson[00:00:00]

She walks alone down a sleazy backstreet[00:00:12]

Around a corner up an alley to a dead end[00:00:15]

There under a small blue light[00:00:19]

She enters an unmarked doorway[00:00:22]

A low heartbeat a low pounding escapes into the night[00:00:25]

This is a place she goes to fulfill a very basic need[00:00:33]

Something people have been doing since the dawn of man[00:00:37]

To communicate without talking[00:00:42]

If she needs something[00:00:45]

She makes a gesture with her hand[00:00:46]

And mouths what she wants[00:00:49]

She wants to make a connection[00:00:53]

A certain kind of connection[00:00:57]

No this is not about something from the black market[00:01:00]

This is about no questions[00:01:04]

This is about smoke and sweat and beats[00:01:08]

This is about no message[00:01:13]

Take your partner by the hand[00:01:17]

He's a woman she's a man[00:01:23]

What's so hard to understand[00:01:28]

Take your partner by the hand[00:01:34]

Mona in the promised land[00:01:39]

Take your partner by the hand[00:01:45]

Keep it simple if you can[00:01:50]

Take your partner by the hand[00:01:56]

At the club they circle around some sex goddess like vultures[00:03:03]

Flashbulbs popping[00:03:08]

Like bees around their queen[00:03:10]

She is completely indifferent to all the commotion[00:03:13]

And orders some mango tango ice cream by sign language[00:03:17]

She's approached by some wild eyed poet drunk with love[00:03:23]

I like her easy refusal the way she shakes her head[00:03:28]

She lives these days in the attic of an old dance hall[00:03:35]

That's been shut down for years[00:03:39]

And swears there's times when she can hear feet shuffling below[00:03:41]

And can see the shadows swaying moving to the music[00:03:46]

Take your partner by the hand[00:03:52]

He's a woman she's a man[00:03:58]

What's so hard to understand[00:04:03]

Take your partner by the hand[00:04:09]

Elevator going up[00:04:15]

Fifth floor[00:04:17]

Lady's handbags shoes leather accessories and electronics[00:04:19]

Wait a minute where am I on this elevator to nowhere[00:04:27]

Going up[00:04:33]

Going down[00:04:36]

Then like a hallucination[00:04:39]

I saw her out of the corner of my eye[00:04:41]

Studying some shoes very carefully[00:04:43]

She definitely had a particular purpose for these shoes in mind[00:04:48]

Then as quickly as she appeared she disappeared[00:04:53]

Back into the slash and burn of New York[00:04:56]

Ah stuck in traffic[00:05:01]

Crosstown the stress of not moving[00:05:04]

She described it as like being locked in a car[00:05:10]

With a madman behind the wheel[00:05:14]

And the radio tuned to static[00:05:17]

Take your partner by the hand[00:05:21]

He's a woman she's a man[00:05:26]

What's so hard to understand[00:05:32]

Take your partner by the hand[00:05:37]

Mona in the promised land[00:05:43]

Take your partner by the hand[00:05:48]

Keep it simple if you can[00:05:54]

Take your partner by the hand[00:05:59]

Take your partner by the hand[00:06:05]

Take your partner by the hand[00:06:11]
